2026-05-26
Polish archaeologists have made a fascinating discovery in the ancient Libyan city of Ptolemais — more than 100 stone game boards, carefully carved into slabs and scattered across the ruins. The boards are believed to be linked to a long-forgotten pastime once played by shepherds watching over their flocks. The find offers a rare, human glimpse into daily life in a city that thrived for centuries before fading from history.
